Celebrity Justice
Sam Ronson -- I Got Screwed Coming & Going

Posted May 1st 2008 10:10PM by TMZ Staff

Sam RonsonDJ Samantha Ronson, Lindsay Lohan's BFF, is suing the law firm she hired to sue Perez Hilton.

TMZ obtained a copy of the suit, filed today in L.A. County Superior Court. Ronson hired the defendant, the law firm of Davis & Gilbert, after Hilton allegedly defamed her in connection with a now-infamous car crash in May 2007. Lindsay was at the wheel and Sam was a passenger when Lindsay crashed.

Ronson claims the firm grossly overcharged her, claiming she received one invoice for $99,000 for a two-month period, even though she claims the firm said the entire case would not cost more than $75,000. She also says the firm threatened to leave her high and dry unless she paid up. Finally, she says the firm is responsible for screwing up the case. The defamation action against Hilton was dismissed.

The suit seeks unspecified damages.

Davis & Gilbert has already filed a lawsuit in New York against Ronson, claiming she owes the firm $164,000 in unpaid fees.

17. She's a side kick like Paris Hilton's f'n little ugly dog in her purse.

18. I could never understand why Perez won that. You can't slander someone like he did without proof to back it up.

19. I have no sympathy for him. My parents had a rental unit and a young man like this try to sue them when he slipped on the ice and hurt himself. He lost, but they wasted a lot of money defending themselves.
Kids, if you sue someone for no reason and lose, you should be held accountable for not only your lawyers fees, but the fees of the person you were suing. I also am really tired of people picking on Paris Hilton. She seems like a lovely young woman and probably had nothing to do with this boy's problems.

21. No sympathy for that little boy. He's got Lindsay money anyway. More power to Perez! And I agree, people are way to lawsuit happy. Tacky waste of time for our justice system. And Defamation? Please, its heresay and what rep does that DJ boy Sam have to protect? I'm sure he probably gets hired more because of his friendship with Lindsay, so shouldn't try to bite the media hand that feeds him. Lame.

23. If Perez put your picture and name on his website and said the drugs in the car belonged to you, you would sue too. I'm no fan of LiLo and certainly not one of Sam's though I was a HUGE Foreigner fan in the 80's. But I can understand why she sued and I am shocked she lost. The judge in this case screwed up bad.

28. What were the grounds for dismissal? Why would she go to such financial lengths to defend her reputation for no reason?
Did the law firm representing her do a lousy job with everything but the invoicing?

29. Morale of the story: Don't sue Perez Hilton if you don't have money to begin with unless you know that you can win!

30. That should be moral. I don't agree with Perez on many of his issues, but who would want to end up paying his legal fees plus theirs too. That is a lot of mula to owe.
